'Usage

Dim instance As RegexStringValidatorAttribute

'Declaration

<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Property)> _
Public NotInheritable Class RegexStringValidatorAttribute _
    Inherits ConfigurationValidatorAttribute
Remarks

You use the RegexStringValidatorAttribute to decorate a configuration property, which will instruct the .NET Framework to validate the property using the RegexStringValidator and pass to it the value of the decorating parameters.

You may apply RegexStringValidatorAttribute objects to property types only.

Examples

The following example shows how to decorate the properties of a custom ConfigurationSection object using the RegexStringValidatorAttribute object.

<ConfigurationProperty("alias2", _
DefaultValue:="alias.txt", _
IsRequired:=True, _
IsKey:=False), _
RegexStringValidator("\w+\S*")> _
Public Property Alias2() As String
    Get
        Return CStr(Me("alias2"))
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)
        Me("alias2") = value
    End Set
End Property
